I peed behind enough trees to last me a lifetime.

I survived camping! In tents, on thin, seriously thin “foam” pads, no flushing toilets, no showers and a couple of rain showers.
I know I paint such a picturesque picture for you. Honestly it was an amazingly fun weekend. But I have come to a realisation that maybe I’m a little more high maintenance than I [...]

Picture me; sitting in a rubber ring, sipping my drink…

Late tomorrow afternoon we’re hitting the road, for a camping trip at Kai Iwi Lakes – apparently it’s spectacularly beautiful – I’ve never been. Myself and the uni crew are off for a long weekend of well deserved relaxation, drinking, tanning, wakeboarding, rubber-ring floating, eating, gossiping and anything else that comes when eight guys and [...]

NZ is it.

This country is stunning. Last weekend I was snowboarding up a mountain, only five hours from where I live. This weekend I was tanning in the sun and out playing on the beach, – even got slightly sunburnt – only three hours from where I live. Seriously, what country can top that?! NONE!
It was a [...]

I heart road trips

It is a stunningly beautiful day in the City of Sails, and so this morning I dressed accordingly in jandals, 3/4 tights and a dress. I, however, did not take into account the intense fripple-causing wind. I know I am probably a bit eager for Summer, but come on! We’ve had enough cold Winter days. [...]

snaps from the snow

Saturday was our only chance at boarding time because Sunday was complete crap weather! We were up there for a few hours. The amazing friends that they are; they were very patient with me while I grasped the concept on what I was supposed to be doing. I improved 150% from last time, I tell [...]

Snow, spas and scandal are on!

The day has arrived! YUS! Myself and two gorgeous girlies are road tripping to the snow, Ohakune to be exact, this afternoon. I am in the best mood! Ha!
Apparently there is a dance party on down there on Saturday night. I wasn’t aware of that! We’ll have to check it out! You will have to [...]

come on Auckland. let's get chilled like 'kune!

An epic weekend. I loved my first snowboarding experience! I didn’t get too injured – a few people tried to slam into me, idiots! Just got aching-leg syndrome. But nothing I can’t cope with! The atmosphere down there in Ohakune is just amazing. So nice to get out of the big city of Auckland!

We headed [...]

the quintessential NZ winter party experience of the year

This afternoon we are off!! Serious excitement right now. Myself, my gorgeous girlfriends; Toni and Eileen, and a few boys (brothers and friends) are heading to Ohakune at 4pm this afternoon. It’s Mardi Gras time!

But alas, as I sit here the rain is pouring. Damn typical huh? I really hope the weather is nicer down [...]

You've got to love mini-road trips on stunning days!

It was a day filled with NZ bands; The Mots and The Mercenaries, who played at the Sawmill Cafe in Leigh. We enjoyed the hot, hot sun at Anchor Bay and the fun and liveliness of the markets in Matakana. Seriously chillax kind of day. All topped off with a beer and pizza at the pub. If that [...]
